My ipod freezes, and when I try to press a different button, it takes a while to work. I have not had my ipod long. I shake it, so that it will stop freezing up, but I should not have to continue to do this.My ipod freezes, and when I try to press a different button, it takes a while to work.

Had the same problem at the weekend there, and my friend told me to hold the menu button and the centre button down at the same time for around 10-15secs, and this will reboot the ipod. Hope this helps you also :)

The best thing to do wuld be to first, back up all of the stuff on your ipod, and the restore it back to factory setting through itunes. After that, you can put all of your files back on the ipod and it should function normally.

Press both the center button and menu until the circular spinning icon shows that the thing is rebooting. Also, try holding play for 5-10 seconds to shut the thing off. Then hold play for 5-10 seconds to turn it back on.

Is it still on or does it stay frozen off? If it's still on and frozen, simple hold the top button and the home button at the same time and wait until it restarts and the apple logo will appear. Then if it does this again later on when using the iPod, do the same thing and plug it into the computer and do a full restore or upgrade.

First make sure your hold switch isn't on. It's on the top or bottom and slides
back and forth. It needs to be switched to the left. Once it is to the
left, here's how you reset:

You can reset your ipod by holding down the menu and select (round
button in the center) buttons down for at least 10 seconds. You'll see
an apple logo flash, that's when you stop pressing the buttons. It will
shut off, then back on.
